Misc performance improvements

Issue 186744 (marked as fixed in 7.0???) (API) Adding library causes huge I/O load - deleting files on background does not solve the problem, it's already done on background. The rename and clean up in idleIO will work fine. But the idleIO is not an API (even friend API). It's in the MasterFS FileChangeManager. This requires an idleIO to be added at least into the ProvidedExtensions like runPriorityIO. (Tomas, 2 days)

Issue 195814 Improve Go To File performance for non source file.
The Go To File has two parts. The first one is handling source files and is provided by parsing.api. This part is reasonably fast (for typical set up < 1s).
The second part handles files which are not under source roots (parsing.api does not know about them) and it does file system search. The second part may take minutes. (Tomas, 5 days)

Improve creation of a Java Project From Existing Sources Issue 194533 and Issue 190242. Partially done in NB 6.9, the wizard is now able to find source roots in selected folder but it should do it automatically for base project folder. The base project folder should be accessible from files tab as requested in Issue 194533. (Tomas, 5 days)

General Infrastructure Improvements

Move stable part of java.api.common into regular api (java.project). Currently there in no way how 3rd party project implementors can use the utilities in java.api.common which causes copy paste programming. At least some parts of this module like QuerySupport should be cleaned up and moved to stable API. (Tomas, 5 days)

Remove implementation dependency of java.source on parsing.api. A support friend bridge module has to be created. The parsing.api and java.source will depend on it. (Tomas, 15 days)

Make parsing.api a stable API. The parsing.api is a base API for any language implementation in the IDE. But the API is still in development mode. The parsing.api should become a stable API. (Tomas, 1 days)
